Should departments/units ask for employee contact information? Can it be required for emergency purposes only?
Yes. Departments should obtain emergency contact information for critical employees (i.e., those who are responsible for performing critical functions). Departments should also consider obtaining emergency contact information for all employees in order to communicate with employees in the event of a pandemic or other emergency. The context in which this information will be used should be disclosed to the employee.
